away from us, take collective bargaining away from us in wisconsin. scott walker limited our right to bargain and have a union. john kay sick tried to do the same thing in ohio. we were able to beat him back by more than a 2-to-1 margin. what doing now is mobilizing, organizing and educating our members. this is possibly the most important election organized labor has been faced with for many many years. we've under attack like never before and we have to fight back. >> ifill: mr. hoffa, here we are in north carolina, probably the least unionized state in the country. organized labor has made it clear that they weren't particularly happy with this choice. are you still unhappy? >> it is what it is. we're here and we're going to parts ate and play a major role in this campaign. and support barack obama. i think we could have had a better selection. now that we're here, i mean, we're all in this together. organized labor is 100% behind barack obama and the democratic party. so i think you're going to see a tremendous turnout here. i'm excited about being here. we have a lot of suppor

the energy is wisconsin governor scott walker, who spoke about the enthusiasm he saw right after mr. romney chose wisconsin congressman paul ryan as his running mate. wisconsin, one of the key battleground states, has gone democratic in the last six presidential elections. as dean reynolds reports, president obama made his first campaign stop in wisconsin today, hoping to make it seven. >> it is good to be in milwaukee. >> reporter: wisconsin's 10 electoral votes are like catnip to both campaigns, so attractive, mitt romney even picked native son paul ryan as his running mate. >> we're counting on wisconsin. let's get it done! thanks, you guys. >> reporter: the president has visited the state eight times since taking office, and is here again today. the race was basically even after ryan joined the republican ticket in august, but our latest poll shows the president pulling ahead. charles franklin of the marquette law school survey found a similar, alarming trend for romney. >> the state has moved away from him since mid-august. he needs to stop that movement and bring it back. >> reporter:

minutes ago an activist wisconsin judge has struck down governor scott walker's courageous law to limit collective bargaining rights for public workers. the judge says it violates not only state law but the u.s. constitution also. and we have more breaking news tonight. the u.s. downgraded by the egan-jones credit rating agency citing that ben bernanke's quantitative easing will hurt the american economy, reduce the value of the dollar and lower our credit quality. we're going to come right back with that. but folks, $500 billion and nearly so of new fed money, it's already spurred a 4% stock rally over the past two weeks just on the rumor. 287 points up this week alone. markets closed up today. now, even though i disagree with bernanke, i'm going to show you how $500 billion will help the market, at least in the short run. plus, if ben bernanke thinks the economy is so bad that he had to act so quickly and dramatically, then the question becomes can mitt romney walk through the bad economy door that mr. bernanke has now opened? we'll get to that later in the show. now, let's turn back

of this mess? we will ask a key romney support, wisconsin governor scott walker. gibbs and walker only on "fox news sunday." plus, new polls in key battle ground states give a boost to the president. we'll ask our sunday group if the upcoming debates are romney's best chance to turn things around. and from a stop at a burger joint to grandkids on a campaign flight, we'll go on the trail all right now on "fox news sunday." >> chris: and hello again from fox news in washington. with antiamerican violence across the islamic world and growing questions about what really happened at the u.s. consulate in libya national security has finally become part of the presidential campaign. joining us is obama campaign senior advisor and former white house press secretary robert gibbs. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> chris: last sunday, the same show, the u.s. ambassador susan rise came on the show and i asked her about the attack in benghazi. here is what she said. >> the best information and the best assessment we have today is that in fact this was not a preplanned premeditated attack.

scott walker of wisconsin. someone who i'll put my cards on the table i believe is a fungus on the body politic of this country. he had the nerve to put out a tweet last night saying that he wants the union officials back. why did scott walker say that? he's a green bay packer fan yet here is scott walker who has made perfectly clear he does not want skilled trained teachers in the classrooms of wisconsin or skilled trained firefighters putting out fires and yet he's aghast that we don't have skilled, trained officials on the fields of the national football league. >> eliot: dave, i gotta say it is always a joy to talk to you. you're always as modulated and quiet, your demeanor. you're ready to bounce off the the walls. you're absolutely right. it was an absolutely horrific thing to watch. as a fan as you say, this is emblematic of what's going on in our politics. the referees caught in the middle. subject to the whims of enormously powerful and wealthy owners of teams. sports editor for the nation, host of

. there is the independent voters and also the white working class vote. scott walker won the white working class vote by 22 points in that recall. but right now and obama and romney are basically tied. they were tied among independents. and now obama is really ahead among independents. if romney can't close those two gaps, he has no chance of winning the state. it's a state where he should -- wisconsin has some of the demographics of iowa on some level and those are close states. so romney should have a chance, but he's got to close those two gaps to do so. >> jason, what don't we know -- what don't we know about wisconsin politics? >> well, i mean, i think one thing that is really helpful to know is when scott walker won that recall election, the exiting polling said that the president would have won the election if it had been held on that same day with that same group of voters. so it's really worth remembering that voters here, you don't see ate lot anymore, but they are willing to elect different people to a statewide race, whether it's the president's electoral votes or someone else for the u.s. sena

seahawks/packers game. what could make wisconsin governor scott walker become pro union? how about lousy reffing? we'll be right back. >> the lone receiver to the left. the packers playing at the goal line. as wilson struggles to keep it alive. the game's final play. it's a wilson lob to the end zone which is fumbled by tate with jennings simultaneous. who has it? who did they give it to? touchdown! >> two different signals by two different refs. one result. the anti-union pro-packers governor of wisconsin, scott walker, wants the union reps back on the field after the substitute refs gave that catch and game to seattle. >>> finally let me finish with this republican plan to keep plaques from voting. i'm not going to stop talking about it. it's a shame that the party of lincoln is involved in a multistate effort to keep people who are freed by lincoln from voting. this is haum "hardball," the place for politics. but how am i going to fund it? and i have to find a way to manage my cash flow better.

, the packers know embarrassing. (laughter) this call upset even union-busting governor and packer fan scott walker who tweeted "after catching a few hours of sleep, the packers game is still just as painful" adding the hashtag "return the real refs." now, i can see why he wants the union refs back. i mean, crushing the teachers union is fine, but he might have had money on that game! well, sorry, governor walker, but the n.f.l.'s numbers are against you because t.v. ratings are at record highs. sunday night's ratings were up 8% over a year ago which means the free market has spoken! that was a great call! (laughter) because apparently people are tuning in just to see terrible calls! and that was one of the greatest worst calls in football history. (laughter) right up there with brett favre pressing "send." (laughter) people-- they love it. people love sports disasters. that's why they watch nascar or the mets. (audience reacts) i say the n.f.l. should incorporate other things that entertainingly ruin the game. for instance, stop mowing the grass. (laughter) or if you must mow it, make the g

back to work. >> a judge has struck down the state law supported by scott walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public employees can trigger calls for walkers recall. the judge ruled today that the law violates both the state and the u.s. constitution. that comes after a lawsuit brought by the madison teacher's union for milwaukee's city employees. >> if you ordered iphone 6 5, apple began taking orders last night and promising delivery one week from today. that's what goes on sale. however, the expected delivery time grew to a couple of weeks. there was a much bigger demand that apple expected. >> joining officials from public schools to celebrate the completion of the modernization of the high school. the $62 million project includes a bigger cafeteria, a new computer and science labs, and a state of the art media center. the also received energy- efficient mechanical plumbing. the original building was constructed back in 1935. it looks terrific. >> the circus is coming to town, preparations under way right out. >> 63 with a circumference of 440 feet to

this is an opening for the romney campaign. you go back and you think about i talked to scott walker the day after he wanted a recall election. he wanted mitt romney to run so the r after his name was not about republican it was after the own he. he sort of stumbled into the conservative argument the other day. he did it when the video came out. but he can i think pick up on that run as a reformer and to make it a changed election between what the president did in 2008. >> enjoying an interesting group of scott walker rick perry and scott they will make their case for mitt romney. >> 46 days anything can change that's for sure. a change is in the air. i don't see a jersey either. but i still see giant blue. >> severe weather in the northeast. >> yeah, the northeast tomorrow today not too bad. it is our last official day of summer. let's all have ice cream to commemorate that summer is gone. 51 minneapolis 49 in chicago. 39 in kara beau. the warmest spot on the map 84 in phoenix. if you like summertime the west is where you ought to be. >> unsettled across portions of florida and the southeast. a fair

to make it very clear, i want to help 100% of the american people. >> republican governor scott walker meanwhile of wisconsin, said he'd like romney's campaign to recapture the same energy it had after paul ryan was first announced as the running mate. >> i want to see more passion. certainly in part it is a referendum on this president there is no doubt. but i think in most americans there's a lot of independent swing voters they want to know what's wrong with this president, but they want to know what's right and what's going to move them forward. i want to see fire in the belly. >> governor scott walker. while they're crisscrossing through ohio voters in the buckeye state will see a ad from president obama. it references the personal taurns romney released on friday showed he paid a 14% tax rate in 2011 although he gave a ton of money to charity, the tax rate is lower than millions of middle income americans. >> mitt romney attacked 47% of americans who pay no income tax including veterans elderly, the disabled. >> my job is not to worry about those people. >> do

scott walker, who is now governor scott walker. he introduced a voter suppression of voter i.d. law. my take on it then and it is now, i don't know how it gets through the state legislatures when you consider that this is not only a constitutionally protected right. it is more constitutionally protected than any other right there is. by the 14th, the 15th amendment, the 19th, the 24th, and then the 26th and the voting rights act of 1965. we have these much-touted rights around, the right to bear arms and the right of free speech and the right to put stupid videos up, anti-islamic rights. state legislatures, because of, quote, unquote, states rights, that little coded provision in our culture enables individual states to protect themselves, not against fraudulent behavior but protect themselves against the aspirations of the people in those states who are students, who are minorities and elders. >> i like that language. they are protecting themselves from the aspirations of full democracy. we are going to come back on this issue. there is always so much. it is astonishing how there is so

governor scott walker's union stripping law there and surprise ruling in virginia on republican efforts to effectively ban abortion in the state of virginia. and another surprise ruling today shutting down a big voter purge planned by a republican secretary of state in one of the nine swing states that both presidential campaigns believe is going to decide this election. that is all ahead this hour, all from today's news. it is a very big show. >>> we start with tonight's top story and with a decision made in march 2003, which is when then-president george w. bush ordered the u.s.-led invasion of iraq, march 2003. it was also the month when it was ordered that the flag-draped coffins of american service members killed abroad could not be photographed when those coffins got back to the united states. that change in policy under george w. bush was a source of anger and controversy. it is why coffins were sometimes used in anti-iraq war protests to visually represent those real caskets of americans killed in the war that the bush administration would not allow the country to see. the bush

of ways is that on friday a wisconsin judge overturned scott walkers law taking collective bargaining right away from school teachers. my feeling on scott walker is i would respect him if he walked into a police precinct and said you union thugs have no right to collective bargaining units. he is only picking on teachers. the workers of wisconsin care about recalling scott walker. of course that didn't work and it seemed like rights for teachers were dead in that state until a judge came through this week. collective bargaining rights for teachers hurts a deficit, but tax cuts for gazillion ayers doesn't. and here is a little quote. >> the department of justice have made a very compelling case. we believe other challenges [ inaudible ] ultimately we're going to see this be upheld. >> john: what a hero. taking on all those powerful teacher's unions. what is your favorite light-wing lie against the president. mike is calling from my mom's home state of virginia. good morning, mike. >> caller: good morning. john i wanted to talk to the mvp of current tv. >> i'm like the j

, and suddenly scott walker was renamed the [ inaudible ] of madison. >> stephanie: yeah. the last pole i saw obama is up what 14 in wisconsin? >> yeah but we won by 28 percentage points and then scott walker won on the recall. and how does that happen? there are magical things that occur in this world. al gore swept -- i mean swept florida in 2000 but if you remember, i discovered -- greg palast discovered how they wiped off thousands of voters and called them criminals. they were guilty of being black. robert more is a convicted criminal and now mrs. bobby black is voting. he went to jail and came back and changed his sex and really tricky changed his color. >> stephanie: wow. there is still time to steal back your vote. >> in "billionaires & ballot bandits: how to steal an election in nine easy steps," in the back we have seven ways to beat the ballot bandit. think of it like the ballot condom.
